In Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, you take the role of Sergeant Matt
Baker of the 101st Airborne. The game starts off on the eve of D-Day. As
part of the Airborne, your mission is to land behind enemy lines. The
101st Airborne’s objective is to work with other airborne infantry in
order to disrupt the enemy communications and distract them long enough
for allied landing craft to secure a beachhead on the beaches of Normandy
and begin the liberation of Europe. Inevitably, you’re misdropped and don’
t end up where you should be. Forced to improvise with what little men and
resources you have, your first impromptu objective is to occupy the town
of Carentan. Brothers in Arms follows the 101st Airborne through 8 days of
battles during and following D-Day. Each mission is designed to emulate
the real-life experiences of the 101st Airborne.
